Arya drank the soup and slept for a while. When being touched by Xavier like this, she became sober and struggled.
Xavier was like a mountain, and Arya could not push him away at all.
He gently caressed Arya's face. "Say it again."
Arya pursed her lips and did not say a word. She regarded him as a crazy man and turned away.
Xavier's face darkened. "What? Are you disappointed to see me?"
...
Yesterday, he was really tired.
All the feelings that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years were vented on her.
Looking at his face and thinking of his brutish actions yesterday, Arya was going to be mad and she raised her hand to slap him, but Xavier quickly grabbed her hand.
When she woke up, Xavier felt it.
He opened his eyes slowly and looked at the woman who was sleeping beside him. "This is the third time you want to hit me."
"You're shameless!"
Arya tried to break free, but Xavier held her so tightly that she couldn't move.
"I am not a good person, and you are not a pure girl. We are similar. Don't disdain me. Don't show an expression that you have suffered a lot."
Arya was stunned. The sadness that welled up in her heart almost overwhelmed her.
Arya had lost her virginity and she had nothing to care about.
She was not the one he loved.
So she couldn't demand him to be gentle to her.
She was just embarrassing herself.
But she was human and she had feelings and could feel the pain.
She suppressed the bitterness and said calmly, "If Mr. Jones doesn't mind, I would like to accompany you, and I don't care two Aryas to serve the same man together."
Xavier's face darkened completely, and his eyes were filled with coldness. After a while, he calmed down and smiled. "Who do you think you are? How dare you to compare yourself with Harriet?"
"You can humiliate me at your will. There's nothing I couldn't suffer." Arya opened her eyes wide to hold back her tears.
She was framed by Estella and lost her virginity. She was even sent to prison by her biological father.
She was humiliated by others and even lost the child she cared about the most.
Each of them hurt her greatly.
Thus, his humiliation was nothing for her.
Seeing her expression, Xavier's heart was hit hard and he suddenly felt pain.
So he didn't say that harshly. "Don't pretend to be pitiful."
Arya concealed all her emotions and looked indifferent. She smiled. "Can you let me go, Mr. Jones?"
Xavier still didn't let her go and put her palm on his face. "You should caress it, not beat it. Understand?"
Arya tried hard to withhold her fingertips, unwilling to touch his face.
'This man is a complete pervert.'
Xavier didn't force her. After all, he went too far yesterday, so he let go of her hand.
Only then did he see the mark on her wrist.
It was still red.
It was especially obvious on her fair and slender wrist.
Xavier wanted to touch it, but Arya quickly dodged.
Xavier's hand froze for a moment. After a while, he withdrew his hand, got up, leaned against the bed, and got a cigarette.
Arya wrapped herself in a towel and got out of bed. Xavier's voice sounded behind her. "The agreement wouldn't end at your will. You don't have the right."
Arya paused and did not look back. "What do you want?"
"When I'm not married, you have to wash up and lie there whenever I need you." A white mist came out of his thin lips.
Every word was as sharp as a knife, piercing deeply into Arya's heart.
She covered her heart as if this was the only way to stop the broken heart from bleeding.
She pressed hard on the wound.
She looked at the window in despair. Through the crack in the curtains, she gazed at the slowly falling leaves, like a soulless puppet.
